Tantamounts by the late
Eric Stokes (1930-99) is a piece in three short movements for which
the flutes are joined by the Meridian String Quartet. Stokes was
a clever and extremely colourful composer of energetic and well
crafted music as even a short extract from the final movement will
show [listen -- track 17, 2:14-3:03].

Not only is Flute Force a
major performer and inspiration for composers, but excerpts from
their two earlier CDs are even used in the TV series Sex and the
City, which seems to bear out what the ancient Greeks found so
appealing about flutes and perhaps flautists too!
